Possible applications for body oils

As a massage oil:

Using skin oil, body oil and massage oil can be a relaxing and nourishing experience. They are simply perfect wellness products. For the best use of these products, it is recommended to warm a small amount of the oil between the palms of your hands before gently applying it to the skin. To help the oil penetrate, it is advisable to warm the skin with a warm towel, for example.

Slow, even movements should be used during the massage to relieve tension and promote blood circulation. Special massage techniques such as circling, stroking and kneading can be used as required.

As a body oil:

If you want to use body oil as a moisturiser, simply apply it to slightly damp skin after showering or bathing. This helps to lock in moisture and promote the absorption of the oils. Massage the oil in gently until it is completely absorbed. Note that only non-comedogenic oils such as argan oil or jojoba oil should be used if you have oily skin or a tendency to acne.

In this way, you promote the supply of nutrients and moisture to your skin during daily care. This protects it in the long term and gives it lustre and radiance.

Frequently asked questions about body oils

Are skin oils and massage oils suitable for all skin types?

Skin oils and massage oils are suitable for most skin types, but choosing the right oil should be based on individual skin needs. People with oily skin should choose lighter oils, while dry skin will benefit from richer oils. Sensitive skin types should use hypoallergenic oils and be careful with intolerances. Each product comes with a recommendation from us, which will give you some guidance and you should take note of this.

What is the best way to store massage oil?

A dark, cool place is best. It should be at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight and extreme heat, as this can affect the quality of the oil. Make sure your hands are clean when removing the oil. Massage oils usually have an expiry date. Pay attention to this date and use the oil before it expires to ensure that it is fresh and effective.
